I have been puncturing frequently the last couple of months and that with a set of Gatorskins that have less than 2000km on them :unsure: I am starting to think that the quality of these tyres must have gone down.

Thanks for the lovely ride this morning, Gents.

Big J, you made it home in time? (I was a couple of minutes late at work)

Any news on Domisse's injury?

Was those "devils thorns" I planted on the road to try and slow you guys down. :D

AB, what do you think of my personal "Suikerbossie" I have to climb to get home?

Nah, it's not the tyres, it the adamant thorns!! We both punctured AFTER the actual training ride route and made a detour to make the ride a little longer.

 

Here are my specs for the ride:

Time: 03:03:04

Ave Speed: 4939Km/H

Distance: 15071Km

Total Ascent: 832m

Total Decent: 826m

 

We literally did some low flying :lol: :lol: :lol: My garmin pulled a funny and picked up a point somewhere over antartica!!!

Nice testing climb, Wannabe...

 

The only trouble is that I like to cool down for 10-15 minutes after a training ride.

And that SuikerBossie doesn't facilitate your cool-down, if you evva need do... :blink:

There must have been something in the road, after I turned I also had a rear wheel puncture. That just made my day.

Yikes - 3 riders, 3 punctures... :eek:

 

Is it thorn season or what?

'S true. I'm forever late, returning from my rides, so I have to push to get home. I'm normaly in the 75-80% zone when I get home, so no cool down. And that's not ayoba.

Yeah, and you get out of the shower... still sweating 25 minutes later... :thumbdown:

Jip. Was still sweating when I got to work this morning.

Anybody knows how to get hold of D to find out about his hand?

Sent you an e mail... :)
